When bathroom cleaning is a job for King Arthur. Ever feel like a knight in shining armor while cleaning your toilet? You will with this Excalibur Toilet Brush from designer Philippe Starck, an object represented in MoMA’s collection. Made from recycled plastic, the Excalibur Brush mimics a medieval jousting lance with a funneled guard that covers your hand to protect it from splashes—while the action of pulling the brush from its stand evokes King Arthur drawing a sword from a stone. The design was praised by the NY Times in 1995 as “High design for a humble object.” The Excalibur Toilet Brush is made by Heller, a manufacturer with work in the Museum’s collection, and its stand measures 16.75h x 4.75”diam., weighing 1.5lbs.
